Here at Prefer Homes; we also provide a floating support for our young people when they move into their own accommodation if needed and requested by the Local Authority. The floating support will be tailored to the needs of the client and can include help with money management of bills; support with education; training or job searching; maintenance of tenancy and more.
We work closely with housing agencies such as Myspace to find the best follow on accommodation for our young people and will fully support them through the process.
